DESCRIPTION:
'It's a remarkable milestone,' says Edge, who co-founded Music Rising with music producer Bob Ezrin after Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast in 2005. 'Out of this partnership we were able to create a program which fosters national and international study through the work of K-12 educators and university scholars.
'I hope that this is only the beginning of an opportunity to provide future generations of students a chance to experience the colorful and dynamic musical history from this very special part of the world.'

Edge spoke by video at the launch of a 'Music Rising' initiative at Tulane University, New Orleans.
